If gods made the world then who made the gods? What spark brought about the creation of the cosmos? What must mankind do to assure the universe continues in its orderly motion? The mysterious forces which rule the mystical universe have been found through the uncovering of the curious connection of the heroes of the Trojan War with the patriarchs of the Holy Bible and the legendary hero-king of ancient Babylon. These dramatis personae emerge out of mythology as facets of a more complex and ancient conception: of the creation of the universe, of the measurement of time, and of a cosmic cycle of competing powers locked in perpetual war. Such revelations propel us back to the primal dawn of humanity, the foremost epoch of reason; an age of man endeavoring to identify the regularities of the universe, uncover his own relationship to the immortal order, and fathom how the human race came into being.
